9/1: 148. Been up the past few days - still on the tail end of the stupid summer cold someone was kind enough to "share" with me. But feeling better and will be back to my normal routines this week. Track day tomorrow though, so unlikely to check in here.

Goal #1: 6-7 Minute Core/Ab Routine Every Other Day (Ultimate Goal of Great Posture!)
Goal #2: 2-3 Exercise Classes per week, OR 2 long walks/biking/hiking outside or combo
Goal #3: Stay within daily calorie targets - with plans in place for night time snacking and special events. My concrete goal for September will be to track it all, even if I go overboard on a night binge or event food to build awareness in the process

*9/1: 147.0 (Moving Average 147.7)
9/2

Here we go September! Had the intention of biking to the farmers market this morning but did a cycling class yesterday and was sore, so aerial yoga tonight instead. It's my off day for Core Routine. I've already pre-tracked my meals and snacks for today with some wiggle room for an evening snack and an afternoon coffee treat with a friend. Nice number at weigh-in this morning, I've been holding around 148 all week. Took my measurements as well and down an inch in both waist and hips since July! Starting off strong!!

Goal #1: Lose 5 lb per month for next 3 month, to return to my "normal" weight of 130 lbs. We are going on a "mystery" holiday for my 50th birthday (I don't know where but assume a bathing suit will be involved) and I want to be back to 130 for this occasion.

This is the weight I had maintained from age 20 to age 46... I gained 15 lbs when I started living with my husband (then boyfriend).. he thinks I look great with larger boobs but I just feel fat now ;-(

Goal #2: Finish Zwift Academy in Sept (if any of you are Zwifters.. you know what I mean!). I have 3 workouts and two group rides left.
Goal #3: 1/2 plate vegetables every dinner, and fruit for dessert (even if there is a cookie or two involved, the fruit must be there!)

I've decided to do a month or 2 of maintenance. I believe in the theory that your body has a "set" weight in mind that it desperately wants to keep so I'm going to give my body a break of trying to force it to shed fat. That way it can get used to this new weight, and then in 1-2 month's I'll start again with convincing it to drop some pounds

So goals:
1) Maintain weight between 65-66kg (143,3-145,51 lbs)
2) Continue all the workouts: run 2x/week, calisthenics 4x/week, squash 1x/week, add some parkour practice
3) Don't drink alcohol for at least 15 out of 30 days (August I only made it to 8 days...)
4) I've noticed that to sustain craving (looking at you goddamn Ben&Jerry's) I've actually skipped healthy dinner in favour of having enough calorie budget left for treats. Need to keep that behaviour in check and eat better again.

1 September: 66.1kg (145,73)
2 September: 66.7kg (147,05) // Great, of to a good start...; What the frick?!

Okay, I'm in! I need this because I have seriously been slacking lately

SW: 139.8
GW: 134

Goal #1: 1 hour minimum of activity at least 4 days a week
Goal #2: Track my food in MFP, the good, the bad and the ugly...so I'm accountable for what I am eating
Goal #3: Weekly meal prep so I am not tempted to binge eat when I'm being lazy and dont want to cook

Holy smokes, I looked at your profile picture! What an inspiring change! Damn! How the hell did you get those gains?!

Pumped for this bit of accountability and seeing other ladies motivated and setting goals. Thanks for starting this and looking forward to how it will help!!

SW: 173 lb
GW: 165 lb

Goal #1: Track food for the whole month to grow awareness. Stick under 1,700 calories a day - intentionally think about macro ratios
Goal #2: Do a full 30 minute or more workout 3x a week; be intentionally active 5x a week
Goal #3: Become aware of what my body needs and how fueling it affects my whole body health.

9/1 Meal planned and chose healthy options, chose grilled salmon while eating out at lunch #itsthelittlethings
9/2 Completed 30 minutes of working out

This weigh in number is what I've been seeing as my recent lowest when it bounces down, maybe I'll move into a lower bounce down number soon! Definitely pushed my average down some.
Yesterday did some deep cleaning at home instead of aerial yoga... but I scrubbed windows and did deep dusting and vacuuming for like 3 hours so I'm counting it as activity! Plus my apartment feels amazing. I feel mega-accomplished as while I was cleaning I wanted to eat so much! I portioned out a couple of hearty snacks to give myself a treat within my calorie target and I resisted the temptation to binge. I really wanted to drink a beer but it didn't fit in so I'll plan today for enjoying one. Today is Ab Routine day, and I'm thinking of an active way to enjoy the outdoors today... maybe a bike ride or a hike. Meals and snacks are pre-logged for the day with some room for an evening beer and/or extra snack.

It took my a day or two to decide on this month’s goals. One and two are repeats from last month and really helped me to keep my exercise on track. I added #3 because my weight plateaued last month because I was getting up to 30g or 35g of carbs a day. So, I wanted to have at least one goal related to diet.

9/1 - 12 mile run and only 14g of net carbs! I ate so much bacon to make that work. I need pick up some avocados to get some MUFAs back in my diet.

Starting a 36h fast3 September: 66kg (145,51 lbs) // That's better! Didn't make the 36h though, only did 24 and no exercises! Must (and will!) do better today Already did core & upperbody this morning, tonight running and glumstrings

Goal #1: Keep up with 4X a week of OTF
Goal #2: Meal prep more ( I do breakfast prep and 1 meal prep currently) Utilize Crockpot!
Goal #3: Start photo records of self... This is uncomfortable but to SEE the CHANGE, it's a must

9/3 107.2 / 20.4%

Friday was dinner with friends visiting- Salads, grilled meat, quinoa sides, meatballs, potatoes, fruits, pies, drinks, you name it, it was on the table.
But I did good. Had a little of everything and didn't over do.
Saturday, worked out 1st thing in the morning, hung out with family, did some cooking nice chill day by the pool then Mexican fiesta with friends! Lots of margarita but I had it with lots of ice:)
Sunday, another OTF in the morning and 2 mile charity walk with friends. Got a lot of steps in. Burgers at the event then more food at our neighbor friends. Israelis knows how to cook!!
Monday, Slept in, did some cleaning etc. Went to a local fund raising event (Ribs!) and had some falafels and ribs. Completely stuffed, I skipped dinner
Now back to work!

9/1 - 144.4
9/2 - 143.5 but ate dinner late and had red wine which always messes with my system so I know tomorrow will start heavy..
9/3 - 144.9 and it did!

Goal #1: No grazing. I am a heavy snacker. I would like to curb my habit of eating too many things between meals. It is more habitual than out of hunger. This is the most important goal for me in staying track.
Goal #2: 5-6 days of workout - ST/2m run combination (3x:2x)
Goal #3: 10k steps everyday

9/1 - 13 g of carbs
92 - Got off the couch and lifted weights while watching TV with the family, because I had set a goal of weight lifting 3x a week! I probably wouldn't have done it without this group! 13 g of carbs.
